What are the storage requirements for people travelling to IPSC or 3gun events? I would like to get into this and am curious. I live in Edmonton AB and obviously my safe is in my house. If I travel to Lethbridge for a 3gun event where can I keep my weapons for the obviously required overnight stay?

Obviously a NR shotgun is fine with a lock and a case, but what about the restricted pistol and rifle? Will the transport permit allow an overnight stay with them lock cased in a hotel? I would assume not. Sorry if this is covered in the firearms course. I took that in 1999. Some of those neurons have been repurposed.

Silly question?
 
Yes, the ATT covers your stay over. Yes, having the restricted guns trigger locked in a locked case in the hotel is fine.
 
Thanks for the replies. Great info. As for the "weapons" terminology; sorry, I was trained to refer to firearms in my possession as my weapon/s during a couple of years of police college. It stuck even though the career path did not. Mental muscle memory perhaps. Point noted though.
 
Firearms is a pretty broad description.

Not sure what CCC is (noob alert), but as it was explained to me in my R-PAL course, handguns were designed for a specific objective.

Thankfully, us shooting enthusiasts found a better application, like poking holes in paper.

CCC = Criminal Code of Canada

Handguns were designed as a personal defence tool. Designed to save your life when someone tries to take it.

I'm guessing you got told something else.

As for firearms, by criminal code and pretty much every dictionary definition, they are weapons. People still get to determine the intent behind why they have and use the weapon, and intent is where the line is drawn between good and evil.

Bickering between firearm and weapon, and assault rifle and sport carbine are all useless arguments. Terminology is a smoke screen.

Intent is the only thing that matters.

Maybe but I wonder what message the term weapons sends to non shooters and does it play into the anti's hands. So...... smoke screen or not I prefer to use the term firearms.
